Jess - You are a Jenuine Jenius! Many, many thanks. I only came across this name last week on a marriage cert. and I can't believe how much info. I've acquired due to the genorisity of others. Regards Rita

Jess, If it's not too much trouble please could you do a 1891 lookup for John and Margaret Palmer in Suffolk? John Henry Palmer born c1869, Suffolk and wife Margaret (nee Sparkes) born c1871 also in Suffolk. John was a seaman and they were newly married in 1890. Thanx in advance. Lisa :-)

Lisa, have tried and failed on that one! the only margaret palmer i can find born the right year is a servant and single, in Suffolk anyway

Ok, thanx for looking anyway. Lisa

Hi Jess, I'm stuck looking for the mother, father, brothers/sisters of Joseph Wallis(1859) born Notts Stapleford. I found Joseph as head of family on the 1901 census (42 years old), and obtained his marriage certificate - which has his fathers name as William. I've been unable to find a birth record for Joseph. Can you help? Regards Trisha

Derek, looks as though William has married Anthony Blenkin abt 1869 Tudhoe Grange, Durham, England Son Tudhoe Durham Frances Blenkin abt 1845 Auckland, Durham, England Wife Tudhoe Durham John Blenkin abt 1870 Leasingthorne, Durham, England Son Tudhoe Durham Sarah Ann Blenkin abt 1866 Mt Pleasant, Durham, England Daughter Tudhoe Durham Thomas Blenkin abt 1865 Merrington Lane, Durham, England Son Tudhoe Durham William Blenkin abt 1840 Greenhead, Northumberland, England Head Tudhoe Durham --------------------------------------- looking for his brother now

Hello Jess, Could you possibly look at the 1861 census for a Susan Thorn(e) born c1839 Somerset, husband should be James. If you can locate her, I would be grateful for any information at all. Many thanks Barbara

Barnara, i cannot find one fitting your criteria, one with two sons but no James, - in Aldershot? where else have you located her?

Hello Jess, many thanks for looking for Susan Thorn. She is proving extremely elusive. She was married in Dunkerton (Bath) Somerset in 1859, husband James was a miner. Probably the Susan in Aldershot would have been an army wife, as the husband is not mentioned unfortunately. Once again, thank you for your kindness. Regards Barbara

Barbara, have you actually located them/her in any later census.Does she ever give a more specific birth place
